Rockbox Android Fork for Innioasis Y1

Rockbox-240p Menu Rockbox-240p WPS
Rockbox Menu Rockbox WPS

General Information

This is an experimental build of Rockbox that is not in any way associated with or developed by Innioasis/Timmkoo.

Most of the work was already done by the original Rockbox team - all credits to them.

I mostly added quick hacks to make this usable on a device without any touch inputs.

Do NOT run this if you don't know what you are doing. You might brick your device in the process of installing this app. You have been warned.

Installation instructions can be found here: https://innioasis.app/

Installation

Innioasis Updater (recommended)

This is a multi-platform community-built tool for updating official firmware and installing custom firmware (which often includes this Rockbox port).

The Innioasis Updater was developed independently by TeamSlide without input from Innioasis/Timmkoo.

You can find it here: https://innioasis.app/

The firmware image included in the releases is based on multiwirth's firmware: https://github.com/multiwirth/Innioasis_Y1_system_dumps/releases/tag/custom_wifi_type_a_v0.2

SPFlash Tool

  1. Download the latest Rockbox included firmware here: https://innioasis.app/firmware.html
  2. Unpack the archive
  3. Install SP Flash Tool v5.1904:
  1. Start SP Flash Tool
  2. Follow the official firmware flashing instructions but use the MT6572_Android_scatter.txt from the Project Gallagher archive

# list packages
adb shell pm list packages
# uninstall package
adb uninstall <package>
# or if that fails
adb shell pm disable-user <package>
  • Uninstall old Rockbox version (can be skipped if v0.1 was never installed)
adb uninstall org.rockbox

adb remount
adb push rockbox-[release].apk /system/app/org.rockbox.apk

adb reboot

  • If rockbox gets stuck at the Rockbox logo and doesn't load your theme please delete .rockbox/config.cfg on your SD card

How to restart the app

When you initialize the database Rockbox will ask you to restart. You can do this via Main Menu > System > Restart Rockbox (last option in list).

Known issues

  • Setting different theme might need a restart of Rockbox (Main Menu > System > Restart Rockbox) or clearing the backdrop (Theme Settings)
  • Rockbox might randomly crash (usually recovers on its own now) - restart your device or Rockbox via:
adb shell monkey -p org.rockbox -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
